Fantastic Fest 2023 is from September 21 to 28 and has so many movies that I can’t wait to see. You can learn more about this movie and when it is playing here.

On Friday, Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher took Fantastic Fest audiences on a guided tour through their latest and greatest VHS finds. I got to see the show in Pittsburgh at Bottlerocket Social Hall and it was a blast. I’m excited to report that the video of the show — volume 10, which you can now preorder on the Found Footage Festival website — has even more that wasn’t part of that show.

If you’re a longtime fan of the guys, the video dating segment has been something that’s made you laugh for years. Now, it’s the ladies’ turn. Plus, there are also Pizza Hut training videos — I also want to hang out with that pizza gang — a striptease workout tape, “Elimination: The First Step,” Roddy Piper screaming in a child’s face, the return of the Magical Rainbow Sponge, the return of the plum awesome Club and so much more.

I can’t be objective about this, as these guys get exactly what’s in my head and what makes me laugh. It’s been a tough few weeks and they make me laugh out loud. In fact, their live shows were what got me mentally through the pandemic.

Check out this interview I did with Joe last year, as well as their documentary Chop and Steele*and a movie they’re involved with, A Life on the Farm,** about the absolutely deranged videos of Charles Carson, whose work is also in Volume 10.

I don’t know how much higher of a recommendation I can make for this. I mean, I’ll come to your house with my full collection of the blu rays and make you watch them if you’d like.

**You can also order that off their site.
